A $80 non-resident fee will be applied to Community Center & Park District membership purchases or renewals. (Not applicable to 1-month memberships).

HOW CAN I PAY FOR A MEMBERSHIP?
The Geneseo Park District offers three easy payment plan options...
1 - PAY Pay the full amount owed at time of purchase.
3 - PAY [3 Consecutive Monthly Payments] The membership rate is divided into 3 equal payments, which are paid the first three months of your membership plus a $10.00 service fee. If monthly payments are not paid by due dates, a late fee of $10.00 per month will be charged. Future memberships may not be obtained until complete balances are paid in full. Only available on annual membership purchase. The $10 service fee is reflected in the listed 3-pay price.
12 - PAY [Automatic Electronic Withdrawal] The 12-pay plan is the only way that the Geneseo Park District can accept monthly payments for annual Community Center or Park District membership dues. This is a continuous membership plan; memberships will automatically renew on the members’ yearly expiration date. The membership price including service fee of $2 per month, and non-resident fee when applicable, is divided by 12 to arrive at the monthly payment. An initial down payment is required at time of purchase, fulfilling the first month’s payment obligation and a $25 Activation Fee. The monthly dues will be deducted from the members bank account for a minimum of 11 consecutive months. After that time, they will automatically continue until the GPD receives request to terminate from the member. Monthly dues will be withdrawn on the 15th of the month unless the 15th falls on a weekend or holiday in which case withdrawals will be made the following business day. To terminate or change the membership in any way, the GPD must receive a 30-day written notice directed to the Attention of the Administrative Assistant. Should any membership draft not be honored by the members financial institution for any reason, the membership will be suspended. The member will be required to pay the balance due plus a $5 service fee. Balance due must be paid in full, in person, by cash or credit card. This is in addition to any service fee the financial institution may make. Monthly dues will continue to be automatically deducted from the members bank account as scheduled while the membership is suspended. Memberships will be canceled after a second consecutive insufficient funds notice is received. Memberships that are suspended and/or canceled due to delinquent payments will receive email notification from GPD. Canceled memberships are required to pay the past due amount plus service fees in full before future memberships may be purchased and are subject to the activation fee. Memberships canceled prior to meeting the first 1-year commitment will be subject to the GPD cancellation policy and required to pay ½ of the unused balance plus a $5 service fee. If a membership is canceled due to insufficient funds, future requests for payment plans will be reviewed and the Geneseo Park District reserves the right to accept or reject requests. The Geneseo Park District Board of Directors may, at their discretion, adjust the monthly rate applicable to any category of membership.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE For more information call (309) 944-5695 or visit www.GeneseoParkDistrict.org
WHAT IF I WANT TO CANCEL OR UPGRADE MY MEMBERSHIP OR PROGRAM?
UPGRADING MY MEMBERSHIP: When upgrading your membership you will receive 100% credit of the unused portion on the existing membership which is deducted from the new membership price. A new expiration date is established at the time of upgrade. New payment plan forms will be completed at this time. No refunds are applied on 12-pay option.
MEMBERSHIP CANCELLATION POLICY: Annual memberships discontinued before the year is completed will be refunded on the basis of 1/2 of the unused balance plus a $5.00 service fee (not applicable on 12-pay option).
